I did put on weight for the last half of the film, but the Ferris wheel scene was shot with a harness on me so that if I fell I wouldn't fall all the way.

That's the power of film. If it's good, it can somehow make you feel connected to even the farthest thing from your own experience.

I don't like the process of meeting someone and you make a film and that's it. You think you're just getting started, and then it's over.

I grew up on Mel Brooks films. That was film to me until I got a little bit older and realised there were other kinds of movies.

It's not good just to have life experience of film-making and that's all. It's hard to play a real person when you've been in jets and town cars for three years.
